Can Vegetarianism Save The Planet?

Can Vegetarianism Save The Planet? It’s a simple question with no easy answer. Animal raising – the time, effort and resources needed to nurture them for food are far above that of vegetables. There are more things to think about than just resources though, and some vegetable products such as soy can have the opposite effect. But, in an overcrowded world where resources are sacred, we must look at what would happen if we reduced our animal intake.

I like this ARBTECH. Only vegetarian food can save the humanity on a larger period than anything else. I love vegetarian food and make my comments to bring promote this in world population and live longer life without disease.

Great information. Facts and percentages are even greater in the new documentary movie called ‘Cowspiracy.’ Glaring with reality and truth it illustrates how the meat and dairy industries (Big Agro) are responsible for over 50% of environmental destruction and that the rainforest is being devastated at the rate of 1 acre/second – Y E S-
one acre per second. At this rate there will be NO rainforest in 10 years. All because of people choosing to eat meat and dairy. Please Watch. We all need to be vegan… yesterday!
